Only in Montana....

Every time I see this sign I can't help but laugh and take a picture...it is at a rest stop outside of Missoula...TELL YOUR DOG TO HOLD IT :-)

A few pics....

The past week I've done a bit of traveling...a trip to Helena on Thursday and a trip to Washington this weekend to pick up Brittney. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Christopher's Graduation

What a day. Far from the graduation I remember in Barry...287 graduates from Charles M. Russell High School. Here are a few pictures.

This is a picture of Christopher walking up to get his diploma.

This is a picture of Christopher going back to his seat after he got his diploma (he had his back to us when it was presented)

The entire class...

Christopher and Brittney

Here is the whole group, my beautiful wife Kelly, Me, Brittney, Christopher, Christopher's mom Michelle, his step-dad Jamie, Heather and Don Gartin, Christopher's grand parents. The little cuttie that Heather is holding is Zoe...Mels' daughter. Mel was juggling cameras taking this picture.

Here are a few of the pictures I took of tonight's lunar eclipse. I also took a little video of it but haven't had a chance to go through it yet.

Enjoy....

Ethan Dancing....

Its a little dark, but I got a bit of video of Ethan dancing....

Montana's News Station

So, we were playing with the video camera the other night and caught Jeffrey trying to create a comercial for a local news program...you would never guess what channel we watch the news on....

Will his future be in the spotlight? He enjoys being in front of the camera....

Brutus the Grizzly Bear

We paid a visit to the Great Rockies Sports Show at the Montana Expo Park this weekend. One of the biggest attractions was Brutus the Grizzly Bear. It was kind of interesting to watch him with his handler and I got a little video of him grabbing something out of his handler's pouch.

A little taste of my photography

So I decided to sit down and go through some of my pictures to post on here. This is just a few of my favorites...

This is by and far one of my favorite photos. I took this picture at Giant Springs State Park here in Great Falls in October of 2006

Another one of my favorites...this picture was taken in October of 2006 near Lincoln, Montana.


This picture was taken on October of 2005. It s a couple of trees along the Missouri River here in Great Falls. This photograph won the Malmstrom photo contest, black and white division.


Another picture taken in October of 2005. This is a night shot of Black Eagle Dam in Great Falls.


This picture was taken in the summber of 2006. It is a picture of Glacier Park taken from the middle of St. Mary's lake.


This picture of the sunset was taken in the fall of 2007 between Great Falls and Stanford.

I don't remember when I took this picture...circa 2004 or 2005. This is the Milwaukee Station in Great Falls. It is former railroad station converted into offices and one of my favorite builings in Great Falls to photograph.

This picture was taken in the summer of 2006. This bird chose to visit our apple tree so I caught him with my camera.

Well, like I said, a little taste. As I get a chance to go through more of my photos, I'll post more....
